Statement from St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman on Rick Scott Announcement

In response to Rick Scott’s announcement today, St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman released the following statement:

“From draining Florida’s public school funding – driving our state to the bottom of the country in per-pupil funding – to refusing the high speed rail funding that would have improved transportation along the I-4 corridor, Rick Scott has done nothing but put himself ahead of what’s best for Floridians. I’m reminded every time talk with teachers and students and make that drive across the I-4 corridor, just what Rick Scott has not done for the people of Florida while he’s been too busy looking out for himself.”
